It's kinda weird that any do.

    Hannah looks between them and asks, "Are you talking with..." She gestures around her head vaguely.

"Yeah. About what it means that I can't make people - I can make a kind of people who keep their brains on computers, see -"

"So, you can make computer people but not... not-computer people?"

"With computer people the computer I make isn't a person but I can copy the data to another computer and that one is a person."

"Wait, but then... the information and the... personness is there. It's just not... working?"

"Yeah exactly. It's really weird. "

"So there's probably some magic keeping it from working."

"And there's a magic to get around it, but I don't have it here which is why I can't resurrect anybody."

...Hannah looks slightly uncomfortable.

I think she's religious, Sadde explains to Fëanáro.

I don't know much about Earth religions, but some of them might be true? I can look things up for you if you're curious, too, old records and stuff. My home world has a god...

I guess? Don't—tell people, though, they'll be upset.

"Anyway what do you want to do with Brazil, exactly?" she asks, changing the subject.

"I don't know exactly what to do, I'm not great at governments and stuff, but they want me to make lots of stuff for them and I want to do that if it'll make peoples' lives better but not if it'll just help an evil government, and I want to put São Paulo back for them but again not a way that helps an evil government - what I'd want to do is put São Paulo back but make it so anyone can live there and the Brazilian government can't enforce bad laws there, if I were older or more good at people I'd just tell them that I'm running it but that might not go well..."

    "And if you get an adult to do it they will think it's war," Hannah nods.

"What if it's an adult that's not in the government?"

"If they really obviously had nothing to do with the government so Brazil couldn't even credibly claim they were secretly the government..."

    "They could still invent stuff," reasons Hannah, "just to have a good reason."

"But America is stronger than they are, military, right?"

    "Yeah...?"

"So they wouldn't want to attack us because they would know they'd lose," Sadde suggests.

    "Not if other countries think we are wrong and help them," muses Hannah.

"So it needs to at least look to other countries like we didn't start it. 'I'm an indestructible teleporting traumatized seven-year-old and no one has any luck telling me what to do' might be convincing but even if I'm developmentally a human seven I know lots of stuff a human seven-year-old wouldn't so it'd seem plausible someone's coaching me."

"You could maybe do stuff like that all over the world, so it wouldn't look like anyone was a target."

"Yeah, I could do that. Where else would benefit from that kind of thing?"

"Pretty much all of Africa and South America and some of Asia."

"So in order for any particular dictator deposing to not be very provocative I need to depose all the dictators. Pretty fast."

"I think we are not the best people to ask these things."

"Yeah but who is."

Hannah shrugs.

"I don't know if you can find people who are good at this, really," says Sadde dubiously.

"I could make them but this doesn't feel like a good enough reason."

"Make them? Make people?—space Elves?"
